Chapter 68 - Domination

A tall, fair-skinned man with a long braided goatee and mustache was looking over a file.

"Quicksword Bob, fought in the Alabasta civil war was seen to have immense strength. A month later he killed Gecko Moria and turned him in. Even with the bounty on his head, he cared not for the marines and dared to show up at the marine base….

Smoker said he was a threat that needed to be dealt with before he grew up. Bartholomew Kuma vouched for him saying he could be an ally to the Marines."

The man was holding a file that had all the known information about Bob.

He set the file down and sighed as he recalled two Rear Admirals.

"You just couldn't be a marine like your folks could you?"

The man asked.

He sighed but then he smiled.

Bob left Thriller Bark soon after he met Kuma. He got the information he wanted and decided to tour the sea for a bit.

Bob turned in Gecko Moria's head to the marines. He was confronted by a Rear Admiral but the admiral couldn't cause Bob any problems.

A few days after that incident news was spread about Gecko Moria's death and Bob's bounty was increased once again.

After Bob received his new bounty, he decided to sail around and visit different islands. Mostly to make money and increase Wishful Thinkings popularity. So far everything was going well, as he met new adversaries on every island he visited.

Bob left it up to his crew to defeat them. He was more focused on his own training and items in the shop. Bob started to prepare for the war that would come, one that would begin a new era.

When Bob was leaving an island that never appeared in the anime, his ship was stopped by a fleet of marines.

"Quicksword Bob!"

Bob heard a voice and looked over. He could make out a pink haired woman.

"Jacob, sail us closer."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Jacob sailed their ship closer to the fleet of marines.

"What do you want?"

Bob asked the woman.

"The World Government has decided to ignore all your actions in the future at the cost of heeding our call when we need you. Will you accept the position as one of the 7 warlords?"

There was more to it, as Bob could see the sheet of paper in the woman's hands. She looked at it for a moment and shook her head. Bob guessed she decided to summarize what it said instead.

"Sure, i'll accept!"

Bob agreed. It was for his quest and a chance to improve himself overall, why wouldn't he agree.

[Your name is starting to become known and people are starting to admire your strength. As a member of the Faceless faction you've done us proud. Congratulations, you've increased your rank to SS and obtained a new hero slot.]

[We are one, but we are many. We are here, but we are also there. It is almost time for our faction to take charge, but for now we will bide our time waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When we strike, no one will see it coming.]

[Domination - Build up your faction and show the world who we really are. Show them the true face of the World Government, destroy their system and what they stand for. Let the new age begin and with you leading the way. Upon completion you will receive ???]

Bob dismissed the windows for now, but he could bring them back later to read them.

After accepting his new position the woman introduced herself as Rear Admiral Hina. She gave Bob a quick overview of the other members that were apart of the 7 warlords.

Bob listened to her talk, well he pretended to at least. Bob was actually looking at her cleavage. He had to admit Hina had a nice bust, and her breasts were just staring at him.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Hina was furious at Bob.

"No, not really. You should button your outfit up more, those things are so distracting…"

Bob said as he looked up at Hina.

Hina clenched her fist. Bob could see that she was shaking in anger, but she managed to hold it in and turn around.

"Bob, you're cheating on Vivi? How could you?"

Luna was shocked by Bob's actions.

"I'm not doing such a thing! I'm just looking at the goods you know. Besides, don't kings usually have more than one wife?"

Bob asked.

"Actually most men only take one wife due to the trouble of having multiple."

Dalton said.

"Anyways, congratulations. Seems the marines will be more hands off now."

Dalton added.

Bob nodded his head.

"You guys all received your first bounties a few days ago. In the coming years, you'll be training hard and when the time is right we'll emerge again."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. I'll tell you about it later."

Bob said as he looked at Jacob.

"Head towards Water 7."

"Already? We still have plenty of time before the designated time."

"Just drop me off, then you guys can sail wherever you want and come back two weeks before its time for us all to meet up."

Bob said.

"Charles, you guys come with me, we'll have you do a few concerts at Water 7."

Bob had a plan in mind, he'd hold himself up at Water 7 until it was time to meet John and Ron. He might run into Luffy's crew, but Bob would ignore everything that happened on Water 7. His plan was to focus on collecting money with Wishful Thinking and buying items.

He would go back to Alabasta to collect the money thats been piling up there, but that would take too long and he'd be late arriving back at Water 7.

Bob wasn't really weak at this point, but he needed a lot of points for everything he had planned. Not to mention he wanted to purchase an Ultimate.

Besides storing up points for himself, Bob also wanted to talk with some shipwrights on the island. He wanted to know if they could create him a flying ship, he didn't know if it was possible but it might be.

There was also the idea Bob had in his head of creating a plane, but he figured that would be hard. He didn't know how a plane worked, so it'd be hard to come up with the design for one.

Lastly, there was Bob's Faceless faction quest. There was no set time limit, but he was worried about the goal of this faction. Also, the reward wasn't stated, Bob didn't know if it was worth it.

He still had his main quest to complete, which he would be doing soon.
